    Corporations serve society, not visa versa. If lighter measures do not work, nationalize 'em all. (Many lighter measures have not yet been tried.)

    PP would be worse, though.

      In my experience corporations serve their shareholders (and maybe board and executive s).

        Their point is that it’s the corporations job to serve society, not the contrary, and if they don’t do their job (like you said) they should be nationalized.

          We might live better if this were true (maybe not), but it is not at all their job. Neither is it our job to serve them.

              1. You are free to not spend money there
              2. If you took this logic and turned it around, i could see an argument saying the moment you stop helping society why should we let you exist

              I agree that in the best interests of having a pleasant place to live, or elected officials should force them to sell at not so great a profit. I feel like “they shouldn’t be allowed to exist” is a poor way to put it.
